Restless
Look at the clock
4:11 PM
I wonder what's going on in the world
Pull up an article, have a look
It's no good, nothing catches my attention
Close the tab, guilt sinks in - 4:12 PM
Time to get back to work
Silence, except for the subtle noise of a restless leg
tap tap tap - the leg shakes relentlessly
Darting eyes, 4:13 PM
Let me just see what else is new
No, you're at work - focus.
The minds a clever thing, Always wanting more but never more of what it has.
4:15 PM
The seconds tick, the minutes pass.
What have I done today?
